Blogs 4 Boobies blog bounce - day 3

It's time to STAMP OUT CANCER!!!

I am honored to take part again this year in Skipping Stones Design's second annual
"Blogs 4 Boobies" breast cancer research fundraiser!
Today marks Day 3 of the 3 day blog bounce (hop) where EVERY card or project
is up for auction!

I would like to recognize the following ladies in my life who inspired me
with their strength and courage in their fight against breast cancer:

Dorothy Burdar, my grandmother, breast cancer survivor

Laura Anderson, my friend, breast cancer survivor

Rhonda Stutts, friend, breast cancer survivor

Cindy Flack, friend and neighbor, breast cancer survivor

Patricia Cassidy, my friend's mother, breast cancer survivor

Last year, with YOUR help, Skipping Stones Design raised and donated $1108.99
to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Their goal this year is to raise $1500, and they need
YOUR help!!

There are three ways you can help and join in on the fun:

1. Help by SHOPPING!

Skipping Stones Design will donate $2 to the Komen Foundation for every stamp set that you purchase during Aug 15 – 23. Stamping and shopping that you can feel good about!

2. Help by BIDDING!

You can bid on a card/project along the blog hop in an auction format by commenting as instructed below to help support the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Your bid not only includes the card/project shipping to your home as well. Bidding ends on Aug 23 at 8pm MDT.

3. Help by TELLING YOUR FRIENDS!                                                                                             
Help us spread the word about “Blogs for Boobies” so that everyone can take advantage of this awesome opportunity to raise money for a wonderful cause!

"How to place a bid on a card/project"

 Step #1
Find the comment section of the blog that shows the "Blogs 4 boobies" card or project that you want to buy.  *Please note you may only bid on the card/project shown in the specific "blogs 4 boobies" post.
*Any bids not placed on the correct post will be considered invalid. 

Step #2

Once you are in the "blogs 4 boobies" comment section fill in the dollar and cents amount of what you are willing to pay for the card/project.   

We recommend a starting bid of $5 or more.  

Remember your bid includes shipping as well as the card/or project.  

100% of the money from your bid will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation

Step #3

Next to your $ bid please type in your email address. 

During a silent auction bidders sign their name next to their bid. 

Typing your email address is the electronic equivalent of signing your bid.  

Also it will help the blogger contact you if you are the highest bidder.

Step #4

Watch and wait.

Once you have entered your bid/comment sit back and wait.  If someone out bids you then you may bid again.  Bidding will continue until 8:00 p.m. Mountain time August 23rd

* Please note that the participating stampers/bloggers will probably re-post their Blogs 4 Boobies card/project on the 23rdof August.  When the blogger re-post their project  then the bidding will continue on the NEWEST post and that comment section.

Things to keep in mind:

Near the end of the bidding you may not see bids as they come in. Most blog have a comment feature where the blogger must approve comments before they are published.  So bid high.  You might have the highest bid that is published, but someone might have outbid you in an unpublished comment/bid.

The blogger/designer will declare who has won the silent auction.  Skipping Stones Design will send you an invoice for your donation/bid amount.  Please pay that invoice as soon as possible, so the designer can get your card/project in the mail to you.

Remember 100% of your bid will be donated to the Susan G. Komen foundation. 

Ready to see my project and start bidding?!

I went with a 'Christmas in August' theme, and used Skipping Stones Design's not-yet released set called "Christmas Song" to make this card trio:
